Gail's Story
Written2008-----1968--April 6th --I married Dave and moved to Fresno, where he went to Fresno State College. We learned to water ski on Millerton Lake. Had great fun. When he graduated, we moved to Hayward, Ca. and He went to work for Owens-Illinois Glass Co. and I went to work at a bank, and went back to college. We moved to Forestville, Ca. and Dave went to work for Korbel Winery and AppleTime. I had one son and one daughter. In 1980 moved back to Bakersfield with 2 children, 2 cows, and 2 turkeys.

osed the doors when Dave's mother got really sick and I helped take care of her. She lived with us 11 years until her death that same year. She was 87 when she passed away. We were able to keep her home. during those same years, Dave worked for Tenneco West Almond Plant in Bakersfield. When they shut their plant down, he worked out of the house starting his own business. We have been in business for 15 years. We sell bins and dryers for Almond and Pistachio Processing. Our children are now taking over the business so we can retire. I have had a wonderful interesting life. I am very blessed. I have seven grandchildren ranging in ages from 13 years to 10 months old. They all live in Bakersfield. We now travel in our motorhome. I love to do genealogy, and sit around a campfire and gamble. I do like to play Texas Holdem. Well, you are now all caught up.
